Book Presentation:
The only writing guide a film student will ever need
Two books in one: a handy guide to the process of academic writing and a brief but thorough introduction to the basics of film form, film theory, and film analysis. Clear, accessible, and surprisingly affordable, it’s the only writing guide a student of film will ever need.
